The Board did not adopt structurally balanced budgets and did  not monitor the budgets throughout the year. As a result, the Town  accumulated excessive fund balances in its general funds of about $1  million and deficit fund balances in its highway funds of over $1.1  million at the end of 2017. When combined together, the general and  highway town-wide funds ended 2017 with a deficit fund balance of about  $166,000. The Board did not fully understand the impact of appropriating  fund balance each year. As a result, it did not adopt structurally  balanced budgets that provided for sufficient recurring revenues to  finance recurring expenditures. Furthermore, the Board did not  adequately monitor the budget. Because officials did not maintain  sufficient levels of fund balance in the highway funds to support  current operations, the Town relied on interfund loans and short-term  borrowings during our audit period. Finally, the Supervisor did not  provide the Board with accurate financial reports for managing financial  condition. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The New York State Comptroller&#8217;s Office recently released an audit of the town of Parish for the period of January 1, 2017 through July 31, 2018.
